“…La cooperación transfronteriza en el marco de la PEM resulta útil para enfrentar futuros retos derivados, por ejemplo, del cambio climático (Frazão Santos et al, 2020) o para abordar las crecientes presiones que se concentran y amenazan las ABNJ (De Santo et al, 2019). Para esto último, las actuales negociaciones en el marco de la CNUDM para alcanzar un instrumento internacional vinculante sobre la conservación y uso sostenible de la diversidad biológica marina en ABNJ supondría una oportunidad para desarrollar la PEM en estas áreas a través de la cooperación transfronteriza (Wright et al, 2019).…”

Legal-administrative borders in the marine environment rarely coincide with the boundaries of marine ecosystems and their ecological processes. Thus, cooperation in the processes of marine spatial planning (MSP) across borders is essential to apply an ecosystem-based approach. This research analyzes the usefulness of the work flow undertaken to promote cross-border cooperation in MSP for the European Macaronesia. Given the vast extension of the sea basin, it is especially important to define the cooperation scope. The planning of cross-border cooperation initiatives must consider the capacity of the different competent authorities to progress in the MSP process as well as the specific stage that each of the parties involved is. The importance of ensuring the engagement of all competent authorities across all work phases has been confirmed, but it is highlighted the relevance of including those authorities competent in foreign affairs. It is recommended that cross-border cooperation efforts go beyond the process strictly related to spatial planning of the maritime sectors and are used as tools to overcome structural limitations and enhance the natural advantages derived from the island’s condition of insularity and outermost regions. Thus, the proposed work process has proven to be useful as a roadmap to promote cross-border cooperation adapted to the legal-administrative singularities and to respond to the physical-natural and socio-economic realities of the case study.

“…From this perspective, the current system is ineffectively defended due to the isolated nature of planning models and the (over) simplification of complex problems. One possible approach to address these challenges is the integration between Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) and Climate Adaptation Planning (CAP) [38][39][40] (Figure 1). Territorial planning and, in general, the territorial governance culture, tend to limit and separate actions, strategies, and knowledge frameworks.…”

Land–Sea Interaction: Integrating Climate Adaptation Planning and Maritime Spatial Planning in the North Adriatic Basin

Land–sea interaction dynamics are physiologically regulated by an exchange of matter (and energy) between the anthropic system and the natural environment. Therefore, the appropriate management of land–sea interaction (LSI)contexts should base on those planning approaches which can holistically support coastal development, such as Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) and Climate Adaptation Planning (CAP). One of the main limiting factors for this integration is the fragmentation of existing databases and information sources, which compose the territorial knowledge framework. Investigations have sought to address the representation and assessment of “wicked” and interconnected coastal problems. The present research focuses on the production of the necessary information to fill sectorial knowledge gaps and to merge the available data into a single framework. The research methodology is based on remote sensing assessment techniques and is designed to be replicated in other coastal areas to integrate CAP and MSP. The output maps are a result of the empirical application of the integration of the assessment techniques and are meant to support local decision-making processes. The result aims at illustrating and highlighting the relationships between climate change impact vulnerabilities their spatial relation to marine resources and maritime activities. This can support effective actions aimed at environmental and urban protection, the organization of the uses of the sea and adaptation to climate impacts. The application of the assessment techniques is developed on a case study in the north Adriatic Basin. The Gulf of Trieste constitutes a representative case study for the Mediterranean Basin due to its transboundary nature. The relationship and the ongoing projects between Slovenia and Italy make the case study an interesting context in which to test and train the proposed integrated planning approach. Therefore, the study investigates local vulnerability to climate impacts, i.e., Urban Heat Island (UHI) and urban runoff, and the existing relationship between the urban fabrics and the marine environment.

“…Although the conservation benefits of sustainable fishing practices are well studied (Beddington et al, 2007;Smith et al, 2010;Costello et al, 2016), the implications of such practices for climate change are not (Iles, 2007;Madin and Macreadie, 2015;Ziegler et al, 2016;Frazão Santos et al, 2020). This may partially be a reflection of the existing legal framework governing fisheries management.…”

“…The breakdown between traditional metrics of seafood sustainability and the anthropogenic climate impacts of fishing on the planet has recently been recognized, however (Madin and Macreadie, 2015;Ziegler et al, 2016;Frazão Santos et al, 2020), and there has been a call for more integrative, or nexus, approaches that consider synergies and trade-offs within and across sectors when considering sustainable development goals (Ziegler et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2018). Such a nexus approach requires both a recognition of the problem and a body of empirical research that supports analysis of synergies and trade-offs.…”

Sustainability is a common goal and catchphrase used in conjunction with seafood, but the metrics used to determine the level of sustainability are poorly defined. Although the conservation statuses of target or nontarget fish stocks associated with fisheries have been scrutinized, the relative climate impacts of different fisheries are often overlooked. Although an increasing body of research seeks to understand and mitigate the climate forcing associated with different fisheries, little effort has sought to integrate these disparate disciplines to examine the synergies and trade-offs between conservation efforts and efforts to reduce climate impacts. We quantified the climate forcing per unit of fish protein associated with several different U.S. tuna fishing fleets, among the most important capture fisheries by both volume and value. We found that skipjack tuna caught by purse seine, a gear type that is often associated with relatively high bycatch of nontarget species, results in lower climate forcing than all other sources of proteins examined with the exception of plants. Conversely, skipjack tuna caught by trolling, a gear type that is often associated with relatively low bycatch of nontarget species, generates higher climate forcing than most other protein sources with the exception of beef. Because there is a range of selectivity and climate forcing impacts associated with fishing gears, examining the trade-offs associated with bycatch and climate forcing provides an opportunity for broadening the discourse about the sustainability of seafood. A central goal of more sustainable seafood practices is to minimize environmental impacts, thus mitigation efforts—whether they target conservation, habitat preservation, or climate impacts—should consider the unintended consequences on fisheries conservation.
